What is Spinal Decompression?
Spinal decompression is a form of spinal traction designed to relieve back pain. It gently stretches the spine to release pressure from the spinal discs and retract bulging discs or herniated discs. The treatment also removes pressure from nerves, muscles, and other soft tissues.
The spinal column is composed of vertebrae, discs, nerves, ligaments, soft connective tissues, and the spinal cord. Aging and an active lifestyle can cause the spinal column and its components to become pinched, and twisted. As a result, you may feel pain that needs medical attention as soon as possible.
Spinal decompression can be beneficial its own, however, it can be more effective when it is combined with other therapies. When our chiropractors perform spinal decompression, your spine gently separates, which releases pressure and relieves compressed and twisted soft tissues. Along with that, the treatment can alleviate pain and improve blood flow. Some chiropractic therapies that we use with spinal decompression include:
- Stretching and Strengthening Exercises
- Spinal Manipulation
- Chiropractic Adjustment
- Heat Therapy
- Cold Therapy
- Ultrasound Therapy
- Acupuncture
